Corinthia Hotels has announced that the former Hotel Astoria will reopen as Corinthia Brussels in November 2024. Built in 1910 by royal decree of King Leopold II for the International Exhibition, the former Hotel Astoria has since been listed as a protected monument. Designed in Belle Époque style, Corinthia Brussels has a painted stained-glass dome, as well as a restored façade.
The 126-key Corinthia Brussels will offer a total of 36 suites including five signature suites—namely the Grand Gallery Penthouse, the Grand Masters Penthouse, the Royal Heritage Suite, the Brontë Penthouse and the Belle Vue Penthouse. Each suite is spacious and has marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs, rainfall showers and more.
Food and beverage options at the hotel include Le Petit bon bon, the brasserie which showcases Belgian flavors; the gourmet restaurant Palais Royal; and Under The Stairs cocktail bar. Wellness offerings will include Corinthia Spa by Sisley, spanning nearly 12,920 square feet, besides the Paul Tucker Gym. Guests can enjoy nourishing, plant-based dishes at the café.
The hotel also offers a range of venues for every occasion, from historic venues such as the ballroom, the Salon Elisabeth, to private dining rooms. The ballroom will also welcome concerts in future hotel programming.
Known for its art and culinary scene, Brussels offers historical landmarks alongside modern art exhibitions, and hosts international art fairs such as Art Brussels, Brafa and Collectible. Brussels is also home to several art museums including Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium, Magritte Museum, BELvue Museum and more. The city is also home to numerous Michelin-starred restaurants.
